Snapshot Book Review: The Adderall Diaries

The Adderall Diaries: A Memoir of Moods, Masochism, and MurderThe Adderall Diaries: A Memoir of Moods, Masochism, and Murder by Stephen Elliott

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

After reading Joseph O'Neill's Netherland and David Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, I am so sick of aimless, dissatisfied, self-effacing male protagonists that I gave this book no more than twenty pages before I put it away. I don't think I could recommend it to anyone on any reading level. A shame, because the copy description was compelling. Maybe whoever wrote that blurb could take a stab at writing their own novel using this idea. I'd be willing to give the plot a second chance!
